At the end of May, Oppo revealed that it will begin the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta program for the Oneplus 7/7T series and 9RT in late June. As scheduled, these smartphones were treated with the beta software last week. Now, the company has disclosed when these phones will get access to the stable release.

Recently, Oppo shared the ColorOS 12 update plan for Q3 2022 in China. At the same time, the global wing of the company also disclosed an update timeline for July.

The Chinese schedule includes Oneplus devices since the phones run pure ColorOS in its home market. As per the plan, the Oneplus 9RT and the Oneplus 7/7T series will be updated to ColorOS 12 stable update based on Android 12 in July and August, respectively. 

To be precise, Oppo has only revealed the exact date for the 9RT. Whereas, for the remaining four handsets, it has just disclosed the month.

Oneplus ColorOS 12 Stable Update Timeline

From July 18

• Oneplus 9RT

August

• Oneplus 7T Pro
• Oneplus 7T
• Oneplus 7 Pro
• Oneplus 7

In international markets, the aforementioned smartphones will be updated to the Android 12-based OxgenOS 12 update, which is merely a marketing name for ColorOS 12 outside mainland China. Unfortunately, we don’t have official release dates for it.

The post Here’s when Oneplus 7/7T series, 9RT will get ColorOS 12 stable update appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Oneplus confirmed that it will start the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta program for its premium smartphones from 2019 on June 23. Following the schedule, the Chinese handset brand has opened registrations for interested users in China to try out the new software.

For the unaware, Oneplus shifted to ColorOS for its smartphones in China in 2021 by abandoning the HydrogenOS development. Even in global markets, the company’s smartphones now boot a new version of OxygenOS based on the ColorOS base.

As the brand is now done with updating its 2020 portfolio to Android 12, it has now started beta testing for the eligible devices from 2019. This includes the likes of Oneplus 7, Oneplus 7 Pro, Oneplus 7T, and Oneplus 7T Pro. The Oneplus 9RT has also joined the beta program along with these old devices.

As mentioned earlier, ColorOS 12 is only available for the Chinese variants of the aforementioned smartphones. For the global variants, the brand may begin the OxygenOS 12 Open Beta initiative in the coming days.

As far as stable release is concerned, Oneplus hasn’t shared a timeline yet. But it should be out in two months’ time. Because that’s how much time the firm took for its 2020 flagship smartphones earlier this year.

Android 12 is the third major software update for the Oneplus 7 series, the second major system update for the Oneplus 7T series, and the first Android update for the Oneplus 9RT.

After the launch of the OnePlus 9 series with ColorOS in China, the brand revealed its plans to update its older flagship smartphones to OPPO’s Android skin. The company even released ‘Early Access’ builds for certain models a few months back. At the beginning of this month, it also dropped the update schedule for eligible phones but did not explicitly mention the version of ColorOS. Now, one of the firm’s execs confirms that these handsets will be getting ColorOS 12.

Earlier today, the COO of OnePlus shared the ColorOS 12 release announcement post by the official Weibo account of ColorOS. To this, netizens replied that what’s the fuss when OnePlus 7, 7T, 8, and 8T series will be only getting ColorOS 11 update next year.

To one of these comments, the brand exec indirectly confirmed that OnePlus 7, OnePlus 7 Pro, OnePlus 7T, OnePlus 7T Pro, OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro, and OnePlus 8T will be updated directly to ColorOS 12. For those who want to know, his actual reply was ‘why upgrade to an older version?’

We also suggested the same when OnePlus shared the update timeline last week. Because all these phones are already running Android 11-based HydrogenOS 11. Hence, It does not make sense for the company to pour in resources to port ColorOS 11 with the same Android 11 base.

So this means the following OnePlus smartphones will get Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update during the following periods next year in China.

ColorOS 12 Open Beta

• Early 2022 
  • OnePlus 8
  • OnePlus 8 Pro
  • OnePlus 8T

• Mid 2022

  • OnePlus 7
  • OnePlus 7 Pro
  • OnePlus 7T
  • OnePlus 7T Pro

ColorOS 12 Stable
